With what we GIVE Israel per day we can give THIS to AMERICAN CITIZENS!

[Preacher]

When will we get politicians who actually give a shit about AMERICANS before their masters pulling the strings in Israel? Never I am afraid. We have DEFINITELY failed to listen to our founders wise words about entangling alliances with other countries.

I call bullshit on those numbers. We do not give that much, especially relevant to the numbers implied by "free health care and college".

US Aid to Israel and the Palestinians
Source: The Congressional Research Service's report "U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel," written by Jeremy M. Sharp, Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs, dated April 10, 2018.

According to the report, the United States gave Israel $3.1 billion for Fiscal Year 2018 in direct bilateral military aid (also referred to as Foreign Military Financing or FMF). Congress also authorized $705.8 million for "joint" U.S.-Israel missile defense programs (designed to protect Israeli territory from potential outside threats), bringing total military aid to Israel to more than $3.8 billion per year.

Put another way, American taxpayers give Israel over $10.5 million per day.

Oh sorry 10.5 million....

I actually agree with you that Israel's aid needs to be cut, but that is not the reason we don't have free health care or free college education. Bernie Sanders wants to give us those things, but ppl call him a crazy Socialist because of that. Americans view Socialism as being equal to Communism, and therefore un-American and anti-Capitalism. Do you think the only reason we don't have these Socialist programs is because of aid to Israel?

So you want to put out of work Blue collar Americans?

And because we don't have the money for it. Its at least the convenient excuse the ziocon element uses.

If you looked at the issue fairly you'd have also posted what the proposed costs are for free healthcare and free 4 year college. I'm betting it will cost more than 11 million dollars per day.

Just free college from a 2017 article in USAToday::

The estimated cost of the program is $47 billion a year. That would cover, Sanders estimates, 67% of the $70 billion it costs for tuition at public colleges and universities. States, he proposes, would cover the remaining 33%.

Here's how much Bernie Sanders' Free College for All plan would cost

That's $191,780,821.92 per day. It'd be less if you used the 47 billion. But, still a hell of a lot more than 11 million a day given to Israel.

Funny how the Jew haters only ever worry about the money we send to Israel, but never the money we send to all the other people around the globe...

I was thinking the same thing that's why I came back to this thread, we just gave billions in aid again to South America and the retard in the OP is just bitching about one of our closest Allie.

Are those nations using it to commit genocide? Well Saudi Arabia is but other than THOSE 2. I want to cut them both off.

We can hardly take care of what we got, the infrastructure in this country is outdated, and even crumbling in many cases.
The cities of Los Angeles, Detroit,and Chicago are wrecks.

Yet, we love, love, love giving money to foreigners like Israel, and Illegals, and well a lot of others too.

It's completely insane.

Here's a good reason why we don't have these socialist programs:

'The working-class struggle puts the functioning of the law of value in definitive crisis, not only in the sense that its practices determine and reinforce the functioning of the law of the tendential fall of the rate of profit, but in the even more profound sense of destabilizing the very terms on which the law holds, in other words, taking away the meaning of the relation between necessary labor and surplus labor (which as Marx says, is in the final instance the foundation of everything). At this very moment, socialism becomes impossible. Socialism and all the socialist utopias try to put forth the actual realization of the law of value, which amounts to saying the complete real subsumption of social labor into capital. This is possible, however, only in terms of the dialectic of the classes, only as a moment of class struggle.'

Just for the record there is no such thing as free healthcare or college someone is picking up the tab.

how about we stop all foreign aid and lower taxs and let everyone buy their own insurance,,,

Yes, and in this case it is the taxpayers and we get hit twice, once at federal level and once at state level.

We spend the most in the World in health insurance, and yet don't live the longest, the system isn't very logical.
